Kyrathaba I'm gonna use your post to go on a mini-rant about "Apps". Basically, they're an excuse to give us less quality than any other shareware ever did. And it's amazing. It's like sinking to the bottom. If everyone pushes the same low quality, users forget that real software exists and that "free" means "disatrous experience until you pay $3-$8 for the real thing".

Eew.

I have seen some cases of the worst quality I have ever seen in any software ever, including the ones I spent 99c on for repackaging Librivox SciFi recordings, as well as others that pop up ads every 12 interactions.

It's like they're trying to make people forget nothing but the App Store ever existed ever. And that "Free" means "Crap".

I think it's a play on those eye charts "say the letters you can see E F Q M R d u y b s" etc, but with guns to show the terrorism link. Also something like "if you can correctly see the bottom row you're cleared for a mission".

It was a play on the vintage eye charts that showed all E's, pointing in various directions, where you pointed your hand in whatever direction the E on the chart was pointing. They were mostly used with young children that might not be familiar enough with the alphabet to know the names of all the letters, yet, but could follow simple instructions.
